The scientists think a large earthquake and flooding probably destroyed the ancient settlement where they were discovered.Unlike modern Chinese noodles and Italian pasta (意大利面食) that are made mostly of wheat, the 4,000-year-old variety consisted of millet（黍）which is native to China.Wheat was not introduced from central and western Asia to northwestern China until about 5,000 years ago. “Archaeological evidence suggests that even though wheat was present in northwestern China 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, it was not commonly grown until much later,” Lu said.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. World’s earliest noodles found in ChinaB. The origin o f Chinese noodlesC. The difference between Chinese noodles and Italian noodlesD. The history of Chinese noodles37. Until the discovery, it was generally believed that ____.A. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in ChinaB. the world’s oldest kno wn noodles were made in ItalyC. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the Middle EastD. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the East Han Dynasty38. According to the discovery, noodles were first made in China ____.A. 5,000 years agoB. between 25 and 220C. around 2,000 BCD. during the Middle Ages39. Which can be used as the evidence that world’s oldest noodles came from China?A. Chinese noodles are made mostly of wheat.B. Italian pasta is made mostly of millet.C. The unearthed noodles were made of millet which is native to China.D. Wheat was not commonly grown in China until about 5,000 years ago.40. We might see this passage in ____.A. an essayB. an advertisementC. a newspaperD. a magazineBCharlotte Thun-Hohenstein, 17, says that she is not yet ready to decide whether to choose a science or an arts subject when she goes to university.She is taking A levels in chemistry, maths, Latin and history, and would love to continue studying as many of them as possible at degree level.Charlotte, who attends St Paul’s Girls’School in Hammersmith, West London, is applying only to universities in the United States because they offer a broader curriculum (课程) and do notforce students to specialise until after the first year. She has applied to seven American universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.She said: “I want to go to the US because I don’t know what to study. I enjoy both arts and sciences. The US is much broader. They encourage you to take many courses and you end up choosing a major. In the first year you explore what interests you.”“I’m not applying to any British universities. I want to go to the US because of the breadth of study and also the extracurricular（课外的）life.”“I love singing, music in general, and community service. My friend and I have set up a choir at a local primary school, and we lead discussions on moral issues and organize creative activities for the lower school. I play the piano in a swing band and sing in school productions.”“I think there is more on offer in the US and the opportunities are more diverse.”“There is still a huge difference in the US and British fees, but I’m very lucky I don’t have to worry about that. The US universities do have incredibly extensive financial support for those who need it.”“I hope that there’s a strong international community wherever I end up studying.”41. In the passage, Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein mainly talks about ____.A. her puzzle in choosing subjects at collegeB. why she chooses to study in an American universityC. the difference between British and American educationD. her favorite subjects at middle school42. In Britain, university students ____.A. have to choose a specialized subject in the first yearB. are allowed to choose any subject they likeC. can choose their favorite subject in the second yearD. are only allowed to study a certain subject all through the college years43. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein wants to study in an American university mainly because ____.A. she wants to learn more advanced technologyB. she can get extensive financial supportC. she can find her real interest in the first yearD. she can meet more international students44. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein has to ____ if she wants to study in an American university.A. pay higher feesB. do more community serviceC. drop some of her interestsD. adapt herself to a diverse life45. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein _____.A. has strong ambitionB. has no idea of her ownC. has unrealistic expectationD. has broad interestsCPresident Bush may talk about a mission (使命) to Mars, but Bruce Jones is betting there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet.Jones, who has spent 17 years designing and selling submarines (潜水艇) for private use, has $40 million invested to build a luxurious (奢侈的) hotel.Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge—the only undersea hotel now in existence—guests at the Poseidon won’t need to put on a wet suit and dive to their rooms. They also won’t need to worry about changing pressure levels since the hotel will be maintained at above-surface pressure.Instead, they can go to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by lift.“I thin k there are a great number of people who would be interested,” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”It sounds impressive, but will it happen? It’s hard to say, considering Jones’ project is only one of the latest great ideas to expand real estate under the sea.His company features luxurious submarines ranging in price from $1 million to $80 million. Having been in the business for a while, Jones claims he has a realistic sense of what it takes to start an underwater business project. As he says, when it comes to meeting regulations for his submarine fleet, “The paperwork ends up weighing as much as the submarine.”For his part, Craig Cooper, the operations director for the Aquarius research station, hopes at least one of the latest project proposals comes to fruition. “By now I envisioned we’d have entire underwater cities. It’s about time some of these visions (想像) became reality,” Cooper said.46. Why does the writer mention President Bush in the first paragraph?A. It was he who first suggested the underwater exploration.B. The writer stressed the exploration into underwater worlds can win support from Bush.C. The president’s talk is to bring in the story of the underwater hotel.D. The writer wants to compare missions to Mars with underwater hotels.47. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the plan to build a luxurious hotel under the seaB. Jones’ plan to build underwater citiesC. the conditions of the luxurious hotelD. the greatest underwater project in history48. Which of the following statements about Jones’ underwater hotel is NOT mentioned?A. The pressure will be kept in the hotel as high as that on the ground.B. The hotel will be equipped with lift so that guests need no wet suits.C. Every room will cost guests at least $ 1,500 per night.D. Jones’ underwater hotel will be as expensive as the Jules Lodge.49. The underlined word “envisioned” in the last paragraph means “____”.A. supposedB. dreamedC. predictedD. wished50. From the passage we can see ____.A. the hotel has already been in useB. the hotel will be the largest oneC. it is easy to build the underwater hotelD. Jones is optimistic about the hotelDCalifornia ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake (响尾蛇) skin and spread it on their fur to mask their scent (气味) from snakes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels and rock squirrels applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed (被脱下的) snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.Adult female squirrels and juveniles (少年) apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less likely to be attacked by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrel’s own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows（洞穴）at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.The squirrels are not limited to the use of shed snake skins, said Donald Owings, a professor of psychology at UC Davis who is Clucas’ adviser and an author on the paper. They also pick up snake scent from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent.Snake-scent application is one of a remarkable package of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes, Owings said. In earlier work, Owings’ lab has found that squirrels can heat up their tails to send a warning signal to rattlesnakes, which can “see” in the infrared rays（红外线）and judge how dangerous a particular snake is, based on the sound of its rattle. In addition, work by Owings’colleague, psychology professor Richard Coss, has shown that these squirrels have developed resistance to snake venom（毒液）.“It’s a nice example of the opportunism of animals,” Owings said. “They’re turning the tables on the snake.”51.

This leads parents to go to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift.In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the TV series Thunderbirds, and Buzz Lightyear, from t he film Toy Story. These years’ must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically knowledgeable. Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related toTV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series Doctor Who, and pre-school sensation In the Night Garden, as well as the main character from the movie Transformers.As parents desperately (不顾一切地) search shops and online retailers for the gifts their children want, some people are making money from it. Those who predicted the trends (趋势) bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits on online auction (拍卖) websites.Special websites have been set up to inform parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signing up it’ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they are sold out again.Some children will unavoidably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let’s hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.76.
